yma sumac - xtabay

the main intention of this youtube-account is to feature mixes and tracks somewhere between deep-minimal-dub techno/house and sounds from detroit/chicago.

well, it's sometimes hard to categorize and some tracks won't fit into that pattern at all. let's eclecticize a bit. anyway, it's music that i would like to share with others.

constructive comments are highly appreciated!

Someone have the lyrics of this song? Because there is a mayan legend with the same name, a mayan woman, very popular in Mexico.

¿Alguien tiene la letra de esta canción? Me gustaría saber qué dice, porque "Xtabay" es el nombre de una mujer maya, hay una leyenda sobre ella en el sureste mexicano, así sería bueno saber si la canción versa sobre dicha leyenda.

A beautiful strange woman with a marvelous voice! More than a princess, she was a godess.

I had this mp3 before youtube in 2002 I love it I can picture this song in a old black and white movie in the jungle in the 1930's or 40's
